Gordons Hosts Event for Yorkshire Tech Leaders on Successful Exits with ContentCal Founder
Thursday 16th February 2023
Gordons successfully hosted an event for Yorkshire tech leaders with client and ContentCal founder, Alex Packham to discuss his company’s journey.
In December 2021, Alex successfully sold the marketing technology platform to global software company Adobe. This followed a seven-year period where Alex raised more than £10m, secured 3,000 customers worldwide, hired a team of 50 and grew ContentCal 150 per cent year-on-year.
He is now a product director at Adobe and is an investor and adviser to a number of tech businesses.
The event was aimed at Yorkshire tech and digital leaders who wanted to find out more about a founder’s journey from start-up to exit and how to successfully navigate one.
At the same time, Gordons’ digital, tech and corporate law experts shared insights on how companies can organise for an exit. The firm advised ContentCal from early-stage funding all the way through to the exit deal.
Gordons’ partner and head of start-ups and emerging companies, Amy Pierechod, said: “It was great to have Alex speak with Yorkshire’s tech leaders. He has an inspirational story to tell and the event provided the region’s tech leaders with a great deal of insight into the build and exit process.”
